Thomas Gottschalk and Mike Krüger - Criticism of the Kaulitz twins' work ethic
Thomas Gottschalk (74) and Mike Krüger (72) discussed work-life balance for young people in the latest episode of their podcast "Die Supernasen." In their opinion, the work ethic has significantly decreased in recent years. "We want the next generation to have fun in life and we want everyone to do well. But we can't help but worry that certain things that were given to us no longer apply," Gottschalk expressed.
Nowadays, unnecessary things are valued in the workplace. For instance, work-life balance was never an issue for him and Krüger. "For me, there was never a question - I was never sick in my life when I appeared on the radio or TV. I often told a story with a runny nose," the former "Wetten, dass..?" moderator emphasized. His profession was also his fulfillment, but young people today have "a somewhat vague idea of what's coming for them."
As an example of the lacking work ethic, Mike Krüger mentioned Bill and Tom Kaulitz (34), the Tokio Hotel twins, who have recently released their docu "Kaulitz & Kaulitz," giving an insight into their private lives. For the comedian, they complained too much in the docu about having been on tour for five months and coming home completely worn out.
"We didn't even think about how many we traveled or how much time we spent on the road. We drove 120 shows in a row, then had two days off, and then did another 80 shows," clarified Krüger.
The Kaulitz-Twins, however, had "probably not even one day a day, but one day a week" during the five months, "which would have been a lot," according to Krüger. "I don't want to say anything more about the docu because then we would have another shitstorm," he concluded his statements.
Mike Krüger, sharing his thoughts on work ethic, criticized Bill and Tom Kaulitz for complaining about their exhaustion after five months of touring and not having enough time off. Thomas Gottschalk and Krüger, in their podcast, expressed concern over the decreased work ethic in young people, contrasting it to their own experiences where work-life balance was not an issue. Kaulitz & Kaulitz, the Tokio Hotel twins, were mentioned as an example of the shifting attitudes towards work.
